- Description
- The United States has unveiled a controversial three-phase strategy for Venezuela following the dramatic removal of President Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces, beginning with stabilising the country and preventing further chaos.
According to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the second phase will focus on recovery, including ensuring that U.S., Western and other companies gain access to Venezuela’s oil market, and supporting reconciliation efforts within Venezuelan society.
The final phase is meant to be a political transition led by Venezuelans themselves, although critics argue the plan could amount to de facto control over Venezuelan oil and governance, raising deep concerns among Democrats and international observers.

- Description
- In a dramatic escalation of its campaign against Venezuelan oil smuggling, the U.S. has seized two oil tankers linked to Caracas. The Russian-flagged Marinera — formerly known as the Bella-1 — was captured in the North Atlantic after a weeks-long chase by U.S. forces, who allege it was violating sanctions tied to Venezuelan and Iranian oil. This rare high-seas seizure has drawn international attention due to the change of flag and the involvement of Russian maritime interests.
Meanwhile, a second vessel, the Sophia, was taken in the Caribbean in a coordinated operation against alleged sanctioned shipments. U.S. authorities describe these moves as part of a broader effort to clamp down on illicit oil flows and enforce sanctions by interdicting vessels before they can deliver crude to sanctioned buyers. The Sophia was reportedly operating with its tracking systems off, a tactic used in “dark fleet” smuggling operations.
